The SUV is part of Rolls Royce’s brand new ‘Architecture of Luxury’ platform. The new platform used on the Cullinan is made up of an aluminum spaceframe, shared with the Phantom VIII. The Rolls Royce Cullinan is also the first all-wheel-drive offering from the brand.

The Cullinan is a five-seater SUV, however, it does come with two benches at the rear which are electronically deployed to extend out of the car from the boot. The Cullinan comes with a standard 560-litre boot space which can be extended to 1,930-litres by further folding down the rear seats.
The SUV also offers a height adjustable suspension setup, which can lower up to 40mm allowing for easier ingress and egress. The adjustable suspension setup also helps the SUV during off-roading or in tricky terrains. It can also wade through 540mm of water, while the air suspension pushes down on any wheel it senses losing traction.
The Rolls Royce Cullinan offers a specific Off-Rode mode – ‘Everywhere’. This off-road mode can further be customised, depending on the terrain such as track, gravel, mud, sand or snow.
The Rolls Royce Cullinan is the start of a new chapter for the British car manufacturer. The Cullinan SUV was first unveiled globally back in May 2018. The Cullinan is set to create a new benchmark, in terms of luxury and comfort. In India, the Cullinan will rival the likes of the Bentayga W12 and the Lamborghini Urus.
